Jackrabbits pick up first district wins
The Bowie Jackrabbit baseball team was able to secure their first district wins of the season last week with their sweep of City View.
The Jackrabbits won 7-2 and 10-2 to break out of their slump and keep their playoff hopes alive.
Bowie came into the week having lost their first three district series against Jacksboro, Iowa Park and Henrietta with out a win.
The Jackrabbits knew they needed to win out if they wanted to keep their playoff hopes alive and got started against the Mustangs.
Bowie scored two runs in the first inning and three in the second inning to take control of the game. While the bats cooled off after that, adding only one run in both the fourth and fifth innings, it was enough to stay in firm control.
City View threatened, scoring runs in the fifth and sixth innings, but not enough to stage a comeback. The Jackrabbits held on to win 7-2.
The team got RBIs from Edmond De Leon, Trae Siegler, Hayden and Hunter Rodriguez. Bowie finished with eight hits and drew five walks.
On the mound, Seigler pitched a complete game, allowed two runs on two hits while striking out eight and walking two. The defense committed one fielding error.
The Jackrabbits were able to build on that win and play even better a few days later on the road. City View took the lead after the first inning, going up 2-1. That seemed to fire up Bowie as the team took back the lead in the second inning.
The Jackrabbits offense scored in all but two innings during the game while Bowie’s defense recovered to shut out the Mustangs the final six innings. The Jackrabbits won 10-2.
The team got RBIs from Rayder Mann, Boston Farris, Caden Belcher and Seigler to the lead the team. Bowie finished with 12 hits and drew eight walks. Combined with the five fielding errors from City View and the Jackrabbits benefitted from some unearned runs.
On the mound, Farris came in to pitch relief in the first inning. He allowed no runs and one hit while striking out nine and walking four in 5.2 innings of work. The defense committed one fielding error.

Bowie’s summer softball league team overcame a 6-1 deficit with a six-run third inning for a 7-6 win over Bridgeport in its season opener July 6.
The league consists of teams from Bowie, Nocona, Lindsay, Bridgeport, and Alvord and will last three weeks. Bowie will host games each week.
Bowie pitcher Hazel Trahern gave up two singles and a groundout to put the Sissies on the board in the first. It would be the only hits she gave up in the game. Two groundouts and a strikeout got the Lady Rabbits out of the jam.
Bowie got the run back in the bottom of the first with Andee Jo Miller opening the frame with a walk and a stolen base. She then scored on Kynlee Baker’s groundout to tie the game at one.

Rest. Run. Repeat.
Sage Keck, an 8th grader at Montague, lives by this mantra. No ifs, ands and buts about it.
She’s been running since fourth grade PE classes where she would run a mile every week. After discovering she could outrun the other students, she began to enjoy it and continued doing it.
Her success continued, as she finished 2nd overall against more than 200 runners at the Old Saint Jo 5K July 4. In last weekend’s Texas Junior Olympics, she reached the pinnacle of her career so far by qualifying for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) National Junior Olympics in Norwalk, Calif. in three events.
